Check out http://www.dubedition.com/

It looks like DUB are a car customising company that has their own line of wheels. Oh and check out that Charger too.

I'm loving the stuff that's coming out of US right now. The 80's had some cool cars and then they totally lost the plot in the 90's with weird looking cars like the Taurus for example.

They are getting very very cool now, although I'm still not a fan of their obsession with putting 30" rims and blinging out Escalades etc.

I'm not usually a fan of the styling, but the black one looks unreal! And a Hemi is always a plus..

The question on my mind is: WOULD YOU BUY ONE INSTEAD OF A GT, AT THAT PRICE?

The 300C has grown on me very quickly since it was released. And these images only cement it! They look absolutely horn when lie the black one. The white one sort of looks, not wussy, but soft, maybe?

I can see exactly where you're coming form. To me it appears that the white one has a much shorter wheelbase than the black one.

Unless FPV do something to blow HSV away re performance then absolutely I would. I'd be VERY happy to have an SRT8 in my garage in 12 months time instead of my GT. It'd also overcome the whole GT copycat thing.

I'm sure someone will make a 300C kit for a VS commodore. ROFL.

DUB is a magazine .. they are a range of wheels as well..
dub is also the nick name for a 20" rim..
double deuce is 22"
duece tre is 23" ..
jordans are 24"

cant remember what 21 inch is tho..

and they have a range of cars they "modify" to showcase their cars..
you can buy matching grilles to suite their wheels for certain cars(the 300c is 1 of them)
